  Background: Various surgical methods have been designed to avoid the necessity of using periosteum, i.e. an operative weak point of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) which is a representative method for treating articular cartilage injury. This study was performed in the attempt to develop a simple, injectable type of ACI to in order facilitate the surgical process. Methods: Seven of 10 dogs were used for the injectable type ACI using fibrin, while the remaining three dogs were used for implantation according to the previous surgical method using periosteum. The left knee of each dog was incised in order to expose the medial femoral condyle, and a circular defect was then made to 5mm in diameter on the articular cartilage of the exposed medial femoral condyle so that chondrocyte..
